Michael Paul Vaughan OBE (born 29 October 1974) is a retired cricketer who represented Yorkshire and England. A classically elegant right-handed batsman and occasional off-spinner, Vaughan was ranked one of the best batsmen in the world following the 2002/03 Ashes, in which he scored 633 runs, including three centuries. Vaughan was an opening batsman and forged a successful England partnership with Marcus Trescothick, though he often batted in the middle order for England. He was the captain of the England team when they regained the Ashes in 2005, eighteen years after having last won the trophy. Known for his shrewd captaincy and man-management skills, Vaughan captained England in 51 Tests between 2003 and 2008, winning 26 (a national record) and losing 11; England won all seven home Tests of the 2004 summer under Vaughan, and the pinnacle of his captaincy career came with a 2–1 victory in the 2005 Ashes, England's first Ashes victory since 1986/87. However, a recurring knee injury, his decision to move down the batting order to accommodate other openers (Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook) and the pressures of captaincy took their toll on Vaughan's batting during the latter part of his career: in Tests he averaged 50.95 when not captain, and 36.02 as captain. Vaughan announced his retirement from first-class cricket on 30 June 2009. == Early and personal life == Michael Vaughan was born in Eccles, Greater Manchester〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2005660/〕 the younger son of Graham and Dee Vaughan, and the great-grandson of a sister of early 20th century Lancashire and England cricketers Johnny Tyldesley and Ernest Tyldesley.〔Holburn, Graham. (Ernest Tyldesley: illuminated the golden age of cricket )〕 The family moved to Sheffield, when he was nine. His father, an engineer, had captained the Worsley third XI, and Vaughan says "My first memory of cricket is when I was 10 years old, hitting balls on the boundary while my dad was playing for Worsley in the Manchester Association League."〔Viner, Brian. "( Michael Vaughan: 'Peter Moores and I are singing from exactly the same hymn sheet. Which is refreshing ...' )", The Independent, 17 May 2007. Retrieved on 30 May 2007.〕 However, it was his brother David (currently working as an estate agent), older by two years, who got him into the game. He attended Silverdale School, and was enthusiastic about football, later reflecting, "I'd have probably preferred to be a footballer if I could have been good enough. But my knees would never have lasted."〔Empire, Kitty. "(Stand and deliver ), The Observer, 1 June 2003. Retrieved on 30 May 2007〕 Despite his many commitments, he has been a regular supporter of Sheffield Wednesday. He started playing cricket for the school side and it was here he first caught the eye of Doug Padgett, the Yorkshire coach. He also started playing club cricket for Sheffield Collegiate Cricket Club at Abbeydale Park in Sheffield. Vaughan lives with his wife Nichola (née Shannon), whom he married on 27 September 2003, and their three children, Tallula Grace (born June 2004), Archie Matthew (born December 2005), and Jemima (born May 2010), in Baslow, Derbyshire. In 2006 Vaughan bought a house valued at £1million on a luxury golf course development in Barbados and another on Isla Margarita.〔(Your Place Abroad – Client Testimonials Including Andrew Freddie Flintoff )〕 In 2012, Vaughan carried the Olympic Torch through Hillingdon for the London Olympic Games on 24 July. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Vaughan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
